I read a recent article in "N" Scale magazine about ultralight benchwork for portable layouts. In the article the author used 1x2" or 1x3"s I believe and Expanded White foam 3/4 inch for his base. Has anyone on board tried such a thing ? I think I'm going with a shelf layout. Since I'm a photographer and familiar with Foamcore and better yet Gatorfoam I'm thinking of going this route. I know the plus's of Foamcore are it's very light and doesn't warp. But it will dent. Gatorfoam which is more expensive and come in 3/8" and 1/2" I think is similarly lightweight, won't dent comes in white or black but is not as readily available or as cheap as foamcore. This with a solid ladder frame and Blue or Pink Foam for scenery would be very light to work with. What do you think ? Thanks, Dave <br /> <br />
